The Technology and the Human Evolution

It became popular to say Technology is growing fast. That address is true for some point. But in general view, technology is not growing fast enough. As humankind, we are evolving faster than technology does. It could be seen precisely in some places on Earth. In Shenzen, one of the main centers of technology on the Human planet, the latest technologies no longer meet human needs. Yes, phones are becoming better, faster, and more powerful. We use it everywhere for every process of daily life. But it is pain to carry it. It is not efficient to spend energy, time to look at a phone. Usually, It heard weird when companies like Neurolink are talking about implanting chips in the human brain. But in more advanced societies, like Shenzen, it is demand. And it is transforming our lives. So, as Yuval Noah Harari said: “Homo sapiens are going to evolve again." “Given the advances of bioengineering, brain-computer interfaces and so forth, it’s very likely that within a century or two homo sapiens will disappear and be replaced by a completely different kind of being.”
